For Apple, developers are extremely important, and initiatives such as Hour of Code 2014 have the role of convincing them from an early age to produce titles that will reach the App Store. In order to help children better understand what everything entails, the company also convinced successful developers to provide information on the application development process and everything that is involved in offering them through the App Store, so it will be about a complete picture regarding everything that the App Store offers.
